A new figure materialized on the battlefield—Astralith. Her arrival was timely, just as the confrontation reached a climax. "It's time to leave," she announced to Malacar, her tone firm yet urgent.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6F7dWikPZ
Malacar, visibly irritated by the interruption—especially when he was beginning to savor his duel—nodded reluctantly. "Very well," he conceded, and in a swirl of dark energy, both he and Astralith vanished from sight.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBgZXotFxX
Left in the wake of their departure, Lyn turned to Levi, his expression grave. "Malacar's strength is formidable," he confessed. "Defeating him will not be straightforward."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrnd3S1pIk
The scene shifted to a starkly different location—the heart of the Land of Spade. Here, Astralith and Malacar reappeared, greeted by the imposing figure of Joker Oginam. Astralith wasted no time in formalities, swiftly introducing Malacar to Joker and recounting the tale of Joker's resurrection.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KXPI7WC5N
The area around them was dominated by a massive portal, its edges pulsating with energy. Joker Oginam gestured towards it as he spoke. "I opened this portal during the First Jewel War, not expecting it to lead to another side."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m0V8hRGED
Malacar, caught off guard by this revelation, listened intently as Joker outlined his grand scheme. "Once we've secured this side of the Land of Spade, we'll advance through this portal and conquer the adjacent side and their universes."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3PUoOVbCJ
Malacar's response was a hearty laugh. "That sounds like an adventure," he said, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. Astralith, however, brought the conversation back to a more immediate concern. "We must focus on Kaipo. He remains a significant threat."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlYCCRm4UV
"Ah, Kaipo," Malacar mused, a smirk crossing his face. "I look forward to our next encounter."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCENBfMlX

Back with High Mage Lyn and Levi, the atmosphere was one of recovery and planning. Their moment of respite was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Kaipo, who quickly assessed their condition. "How are you holding up?" he inquired, his concern evident.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwx0Z7v3Jk
Without waiting for an answer, Kaipo activated "Advanced Regeneration," his hands glowing as he channeled healing energies towards Lyn and Levi. The effect was immediate, visibly rejuvenating them.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KmZTrUrZa
Kaipo then brought out an enormous mysterious yellow orb that Zara and Levi previously acquired from The Luminar Concordia Universe. "I intended to train you in a new technique, but time is a luxury we can't afford," he explained. Showing them the orb, he instructed, "Touch this, and it will instill in you the knowledge you need."121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabX5kj7ycg
The chapter concluded with Lyn and Levi reaching out to touch the orb, their faces set with determination, as they braced for the knowledge and power that would flood through them, preparing them for the battles ahead.121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyD0cjiV4v
